I am a Research Associate at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru, India. I completed my PhD in Materials Science in 2025 under the supervision of Bharat Ratna Prof. C. N. R. Rao, FRS, and Dr. Pratap Vishnoi. Prior to this, I completed my M.S. Engineering at JNCASR under the supervision of Bharat Ratna Prof. C. N. R. Rao, FRS.
My research focuses on crystal growth, structure determination, and structure-property relationships in functional inorganic and hybrid materials, particularly halide perovskites, magnetic materials, and layered transition-metal dichalcogenides.
